"West Bengal's TMC has given new meaning to political terrorism. Everyday, they are redefining it. They cannot hide their absurdities, with the way they have gone about their daily functioning", Anjaan said.

This reaction comes after the shocking comment that Anubrata Mondal, a TMC leader and state minister made at an election campaign meeting that encouraged partymen to 'attack' independent candidates in the on-going West Bengal panchayat elections.

"Mamata Banerjee's government is not talked about for its good deeds, but because of the political terrorism that they have adopted. Threatening independent candidates is the limit. These threats are extremely serious. All the political parties of the country must take note of it, and the central government must also hand them harsh punishment", Anjaan said.
